Buddhist Lent has started ....

.... which means the Buddha of all Alms Ceremonies, novices were bused into town from temples surrounding Luang Prabang and the Alms route which normally takes 45 minutes took 3 hours! with lots of sweets, treats and Kips.

The rules are stricter during lent so for the next 84 days I'm not allowed to lie, kill, drink alcohol or sleep with women, it's going to be a very quiet few months!

and here are The Wat PasaViet novices
